Rating: Summary: A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, BOOK!!! Review: I read this book first, I think, when I was ten years old. Now, two years later, I still read it and fall in love every time! For those of you who say "I would only reccommend this book to mature adults", well, a mature audience, is more like it. I suppose that if you read this book for a school assignment then it can be boring. But then, take another shot at it and read it for fun! You really haven't read anything until you real this book. This is probably my all-time favorite book. To those of you who have never read it, here's some advice. GET A COPY AND READ, PRONTO!!!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Story Review: This book is just excellent. I'm reading it for school so I automatically thought I wouldn't like it, but it is much better than I had expected. You just get the feeling that you're down South with Scout, Dill, and Jem and that you can see through their perspective. I also liked Harper Lee's description of the Radley place and Mrs. Dubose... either it's scary or disgusting. Just the way I like it.
Rating: Summary: A story of truth and positivity Review: A story set in the south when racism was considered the norm. A single parent (Atticus) had the job of raising his daughter Scout, and his older son, Jem. At the same time his job and obligation was to defend a innocent black man against a white jury. Throughout the story you see that Atticus does what is right for him and no one else. As his two children get older you notice the strong and positive influence Atticus instills in his children. I believe that more people should have the same mind set as Atticus.
Rating: Summary: Very Good Review: It dealt with many issues facing America then and to an extent now.
Rating: Summary: Cruelty, Love, and Humor all rolled in to 281 pages. Review: When my teacher first told my class that we were going to read a 281 page novel called, "To Kill a Mockingbird" I let out a moan. 281 long pages with tiny words and I was stuck reading it. My thoughts changed when I opened up the book and began reading about Jem and Scout. My feelings quickly changed from not wanting to reading this novel to not wanting to put it down until i was done ( which is unusual for a 10th grade student to say.) I felt that in some way I was connected to Scout through her storytelling. Miss Lee's writing shows that racism occurs in society but some people can see ast the color of ones skin, that there is a lot of hatred in the world, and that going from innocence to experience can occur within the blink of an eye. I strongly recomend that all young adults read this sometime in their school career, even if it is not assigned. I assure you that you will not regret it!
Rating: Summary: This book showed me what small town people can accomplish Review: I am a college student at Auburn University but I grew up in a town in Alabama about the size of Scout's home town. It was also an hour away from Harper Lee's home town of Monroeville. This book showed me how people from Anywhere, USA could change the world that they lived in. I believe that it also showed the rest of the world how people from the deep south are not all ignorant, racist clods.
Rating: Summary: Best book I've ever read Review: This is a great book about the life of a white family whose father takes on a case with a black man. The children have to go through alot like being teased at school because their father is defending a black man. They also live by Boo Radley that hasn't been seen for years. The kids are scared of him and think that he is going to hurt them, but when Scout and Jem are attacked Boo saves Jem's life and they really find out that Boo isn't a bad guy after all. This is one of the best book I ever had to read.
